Who We Are

Main Content

The DePaul Women's Network (DWN) is a volunteer-led organization for all women faculty and staff at the university. We create opportunities for DePaul women to meet, network, learn and share ideas about common interests. Our mission is to enrich your work experience at DePaul.

In the spirit of our mission, we offer professional development events and activities throughout the year such as Brown Bag Luncheons, social events, lectures and workshops featuring your colleagues and other professionals, and the annual Women of Spirit and Action Awards to honor and recognize your DePaul women colleagues.

Benefits of Membership

We provide opportunities for you to meet and connect with other DePaul women across campuses, divisions, and colleges. We also invite you to network online by following us on Facebook and Twitter and by joining our LinkedIn group.

We provide opportunities for you to develop your leadership and collaboration skills within one of our five practice areas: Programming, Marketing & Communications, Service & Outreach, Operations and Membership & Engagement. In addition, we offer quarterly and annual events that include faculty forums, career development programs, panels, social gatherings and other fun activities.
